> Facebook is neither a utility nor monopoly.

I agree: I don't have the same concerns with Facebook as with, say, a monopoly ISP.

That said, in both cases I think there's an opportunity to define customer data as containing a responsibility and liability, so that collecting it is a double-edged activity and there are potential repercussions causing companies to guard its dispersal with more care.
